Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together.
This week’s list is about our favourite book quotes. I’m not one for remember book quotes so I had the help of Goodreads for this one!
“You can only actually help someone who wants to be helped.” – Jojo Moyes, Me Before You
“You can be okay again. Just a different kind of okay than before.”- Emery Lord, The Names They Gave Us
“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” – J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”- Neil Gaiman, Coraline
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” -Dr Seuss, Oh The Places You’ll Go!
“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.” -Nicholas Sparks, A Walk To Remember
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.” – J.D Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” -Dr Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut
“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.” – Markus Zusak, I Am The Messenger
“You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.” -Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
I absolutely loved looking up bookish quotes from some of my most favourite books. I absolutely love the quotes from Dr Seuss. What a genius that man was!
What are your favourite bookish quotes? Feel free to leave a link to your post and I’ll stop by!

Yours is the second list I’ve seen that “Coraline” quote!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before, but it’s really sweet. 🙂
Also, seeing a “Me Before You” quote on your list has (yet again) reminded me that’s one read that remains on my TBR.
Happy Top Ten Tuesday, Chrissi.
I love Coraline! Such a great book. Yes, yes, yes to Me Before You. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
I love that quote from Harry Potter so much ❤ can't go wrong with Harry Potter
I completely agree! ❤
I never read Coraline, but looking at that quote, I may have to change my mind and put it back on my tbr!
Great TTT 😊
It’s such a special book. 🙂 Thanks Lena!
The only ones on your list I’ve read are Oh The Places You’ll Go! and The Catcher in the Rye. I know I left a bunch of great quotes off my own list, that I only belatedly remembered afterwards.
Same! I keep seeing ones I love on other lists.
Love the Seuss ones! And Coraline and the Sparks one are pretty great too. 🙂
I agree about Seuss- kids books or not, he had a lot to say with those quotes.
He really did. I find so much from his words!
Lovely quotes! Glad to see a quote from J.D. Salinger on the list. 🙂
My Top 10
Thank you! 🙂
I adore that Catcher in the Rye quote! ❤ It's such an accurate description of how it feels to read favorite books.
Totally ❤
I have never read A walk to Remember, but without fail, no matter how many time sI watch it. I bawl my eyes out. WIthout fail. This was a hard one for me to get into, so I did something entirely different 🙂
It’s so sad ❤
Any list with Gaiman and Dr Seuss automatically wins the mystery gift in my opinion.
Lynn 😀
Ha! Thank you 😀
That’s my all-time favorite Harry Potter quote. It’s so very true.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
❤ I completely agree!
These are so lovely! I adore the Dr. Seuss ones, and the A Walk to Remember one just hit me with a wave of feels!
❤ I know. So touching.
Yay! You have Dr. Seuss quotes too! These are such good ones. He was truly amazing.
❤ I agree. I love his work!
Ohh, the quote by Jodi Picoult is so awesome! I’ve read it a loooong time ago and I didn’t remember it. Great quotes ♥
Thank you Zoe! I love it.
I love that one from My Sister’s Keeper, I almost added it to my list this week, but I had so many I wanted to include and I wanted to keep to ten!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/06/top-ten-tuesday-149/
It’s a gorgeous quote!
It is!
That Harry Potter quote is so true! I can’t believe I haven’t stumbled upon it in the past.
Here are my ten favourite quotes.
It’s a beautiful quote! 🙂 One of my favourites.
I love that Harry Potter is getting so much love today, but I really love how much love Dr Seuss is getting! He really has some great quotes in his books.
I forgot my TTT link :p
My TTT.
Oops! I’ll come stop by in a bit! 😀 I love the Dr Seuss love today too.
I love that Emery Lord quote!
I really love it too!
I LOVE that Markus Zusak quote. Both I am the Messenger and The Book Thief packed so many punches when I read them and it amazes me how vastly different the books are.
They really are. It’s like it’s not the same author!
These are all such wonderful quotes! ❤
Thank you! ❤
I liked Harry Potter and A Walk to Remember-and of course Dr.Seuss!!

Dr Seuss is a bit of a legend!
That Neil Gaiman quote is one of my all-time favorites. Great choices!
Thank you Alicia! 🙂 I love the Neil Gaiman quote.
Fabulous list Chrissi! ANd you just won me by including that quote from A Walk to Remember 🙂 I haven’t read the book but I love that movie so much and everytime that quote appears in the movie, my heart just sinks 😦
My TTT
The movie is such a good adaptation!
Yes it definitely is ❤️
So many excellent quotes! I do wish my favorite authors were my actual best friends.;)
That would be amazing!
“You can be okay again. Just a different kind of okay than before.” Oh my gosh, I love this!! What a beautiful quote. I don’t even know the book and I want to read it from this alone. Lol. And I love your Dr. Seuss quotes!!!! Ahhh so perfect!!
It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? 🙂 One of my favourites.
I love that Coraline quote! I think I’ve maybe heard it before, but just never really knew where it came from 🙂 Great list!
🙂 Thank you. I love that quote.
Aw, these are awesome! Oh The Places You’ll Go! is one of my all-time faves. And I haven’t read the book yet, but the one from The Names They Gave Us is incredible, makes me want to read it even more!
It’s such a cute book. I must read it to my current class at the end of the school year.
So nice to see so many Oh, The Places You’ll Go quotes. Best book ever!
It really is! 🙂
